Busy Day

Language Arts~
Today we went to music and IMC.  We read and discussed chapters 9 and 10 from Sign of the Beaver.  We then worked on finishing up our packets for this section and we took an open book quiz over chapters 5-10.
No one should have homework if they used their class time wisely.  Otherwise they just need to finish up the packet.

Math~
Today we investigated volume and capacity.  We designed rectangular prisms and filled them with cubic centimeters to discover the volume.  Students then practiced adding integers by playing the credits/debits game.  Students reviewed concepts by working on math boxes 11.4.  They have a liquid measurement writing assignment due tomorrow.   They also have a problem solving worksheet that is due Thursday.

Science~
Today our focus was on the different forces that affect our physical world.  We read pages 268-283 in our ScienceSaurus and did a true and false activity on those pages.  If students did not complete the assignment it is homework.
